breaks the silent

Time waxes poetic
on a distant battlefield
The warrior a sage
—whose blood we all share

The wandering moon
Waxes, wanes, illuminates
nodding to the stars

Dame van Dyke now reclines and relaxes,
while her lady-in-waiting re-waxes
bristled shadowy skin
of her chinny-chin-chin...
the vexation of vain battle-axes.

Limerick
a single owl screech
breaks the silence,
the Hunter's moon
waxes blue
ice chills the aging bones-
blowing on the east wind
flurries ,fine and dry
settle on her grave.

Moon goes through phases
She waxes and she wanes
Love is not constant.

deep in the pool
the harvest moon
bleak and surreal
too soon the image
dissolves in space

Cold is winter in shades of grey; monotone scenery.
Welcome sunlight lends orange and yellow to a scene and paints snow white with blue hues.
My holly tree lends green and red while my spruce waxes blue.

Though dancing daily
unswerving type the sea is
treats rich and poor same
Though scudding across
the sky, clouds are in no rush
to pour rain fairly
Moon waxes and wanes
every month but never fails
to entertain us

When twin souls living in their tranquil place
Where heart and mind reside
Oblivious to time and space
Circumstance, distance or weather
Like the moon that waxes and wanes
Even in shadows never changing
Love grows nurtured sublime

Light Verse
A pensive moon lets fall the rain
that calls you to a darkened sill,
where, apprehensive, you remain,
held captive in her thrall
until she waxes at the window pane
to ask intently if you'll still be back
when she's gone past her wane
Beyond the glass,
you swear you will...

Go Man, Go with Liz.
That girl's got so much whizz.
Say goodbye to sorrows
as she, borrows, borrows, borrows.
Our nation's fortune waxes
the more she cuts those taxes.
She relishes a fight,
not she some 'Maggie Lite'.
Macron and Putin shake and shudder
Now 'tis Liz who holds the rudder.

What the hell are you doing?
Look at you, look
I said.
your flesh goes crazy and you can not control anything.
touch it
do it somehow
go out into the street and tell them you are not different.
**** her
and close her wounds
be perfect
waxes her if that is required.
they will never know that their love
is not your love.

Libido
~~~~~~
An extension of ones self, it's intrinsic
And waxes and wanes with the pull of Lady Luna
A function of animal, extreme in the alpha
Its origin is primordial,
Yet it's future uncertain
Presence of strength and dominance
Chemically derived, it's a useful tool
For the human race to survive
And nothing more

Magical moonbeams
Sparkling like silver
On an inky sea
I watch them dancing
Captivatingly
Bright mystic moon
Shining each night
Waxes and wanes
Controlling tides
Silver orb
Shines above
constantly
I love
A clear
Night

Diminished Hexaverse
those dead-ends are just around the corner
where deep calls to deep,
that infinite-in just beyond where we sleep,
in that dream we don't have any names,
no games, no blames, neither waxes nor wanes,
no hell of flames, no self-deprecating shames,
a place where we'll all happily greet,
in a tunnel vision where all dead-ends meet

Tis a child that ever deems
That immortal truth should live in dreams.
Integrity men most do brag
The days consume to threadbare rags
Virtues stressed and sane to uphold
Falters, burdened, and waxes cold
Tis a child that ever deems
That immortal truth should live in dreams.
Jesus is the only way
Strike me not while I have my say.

Before an infant,
after, after, after
Microscopic,
flows into
Infinite currents.
Unimaginable,
unseen
magnified boulders,
of sand.
Site, tears out,
Site, pulls In,
Vivid horrific beauty . . . waxes & wanes.
SWISH
swish ~~~
Swish
Endless, endless, endless
shadow-light reflects
spare change,
undertowed.

Six children alive and sired
Fathering three and tired
The other three reject me
A traitor in me, they see
Married once; now again
My sanity to regain
At what cost to the kingdom
My rejection of martyrdom
The natural man waxes and wanes
The spiritual man rises to higher planes
I asked for as many as the stars
To assuage my emotional scars

Rhyme
Rain with her wet slippers assail
The senses affixed on my walls—
Through its cloudy sight, a sun dial.
Where pattering waxes to a haunting tune,
Blew out the candle from under time—
Cracks now wide in bright or dull blue.
Storm's find
Brass chimes
Odd shine
Rain with her wet slippers assail,
Blew out the candle from under time,
Odd shine.

Rhyme
Pity the Moon!
As it survives only
by the thing it envies.
Pity the Moon!
As it waxes and wanes
merely reflecting the Sun's divine rays.
Pity the Moon!
As it lies in shame
bringing darkness wherever it goes.
Pity the Moon!
As it sees the world during its slumber
fulfilling its duty in the shadows.
Pity the Moon!
As it writhes in pain
longing to be the bringer of light.
